Effect of the phase composition of steel-based composites on the electrical resistance of the friction zone under conditions of current collection

The current-voltage diagram of the electric contact zone and the wear rate of sintered composites based on ball-bearing wastes steel (1.5% Cr) and Hadfield steel (13% Mn) at sliding over quenched steel (0.45% C) are investigated with tin and lead incorporated in the friction zone. It is established that melting is accompanied by a significant decrease in the electrical resistance which causes the nonlinearity of the current-voltage diagram of the contact. An increase in the strength of the contact layers manifested through the increased wear resistance is simultaneously observed. Based on the Ohm law, it is qualitatively demonstrated that the nonlinearity is caused by the change of the true area of electrical contact. Results of analogous experiments for composites that do not contain lead or tin are presented. It is established that the electrical conductivity and the strength of the surface layer sharply decrease for such change of the phase composition.

Quantum-mechanical expressions for the current electric dipole and quadrupole moments and the current electrostatic contact interaction

We derive quantum-mechanical expressions for the current electric dipole and quadrupole moments produced by motion of a particle with a magnetic moment. We show that there exists a current electrostatic contact interaction. We also show that the Dirac and anomalous magnetic moments appear with different coefficients in the expressions for the current electric moments and the current electrostatic interaction.Scientific—Research Institute of Nuclear Problems, Belorussian State University.

Radial electric potential in a metallic wire carrying a steady current

A radial electric potential is established in a metallic wire carrying a steady current. The steady current induces a magnetic field inside the conductor. A resultant Lorentz force drives a moving electron to distribute on the surface of the wire. An electric potential deference between two points along a radial direction in the conductor is proportional to a quadratic of the current.     

Analysis of composite material interface crack face contact and friction effects using a new node-pairs contact algorithm

A new node-pairs contact algorithm is proposed to deal with a composite material or bi-material interface crack face contact and friction problem(e.g., resistant coating and thermal barrier coatings) subjected to complicated load conditions.To decrease the calculation scale and calculation errors, the local Lagrange multipliers are solved only on a pair of contact nodes using the Jacobi iteration method, and the constraint modification of the tangential multipliers are required. After the calculation of the present node-pairs Lagrange multiplier, it is turned to next contact node-pairs until all node-pairs have finished. Compared with an ordinary contact algorithm, the new local node-pairs contact algorithm is allowed a more precise element on the contact face without the stiffness matrix singularity. The stress intensity factors(SIFs) and the contact region of an infinite plate central crack are calculated and show good agreement with those in the literature. The contact zone near the crack tip as well as its influence on singularity of stress fields are studied. Furthermore, the frictional contacts are also considered and found to have a significant influence on the SIFs. The normalized mode-II stress intensity factors K?IIfor the friction coefficient decrease by 16% when f changes from 1 to 0.     

Effects of non-flat contact and interference on self-assembled monolayers under sliding friction

The nanotribology mechanism of alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAM) chemisorbed on a gold surface under a non-flat contact by a tilt plane was studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The molecular trajectories, tilt angles, normal forces, shear forces, and frictional coefficient of the SAM were evaluated during the friction and relaxation processes for various parameters, including the tilt angle of the slider, interference magnitude, and SAM length. At the nanoscale, the magnitude of interface interactional forces is strongly dependent on the magnitude of the contact area, not on the surface geometry. The contact area and the exerted normal force of the SAM increase with decreasing the tilt angle of the slider at the same contact interference. In contrast, the periods in both normal force and shear force are gradually delayed as the tilt angle of the slider increases. Once the contact interference increases, the normal force and shear force increase together. During the sliding friction process with a smaller tilt slider angle, SAM molecules can maintain a better collective ordered structure. Short SAM molecules are more sensitive to a compressive loading and react to a larger normal force under the same contact interference due to the deformation of a larger tilt angle and decrease in chain length. The friction coefficient of SAM is significantly more dependent on the tilt angle of the slider than the contact interference.     

等离子体在任意强度的直流电场中产生电流的过程

通过Fokker-Planck模拟,研究了等离子体在任意强度的直流电场中产生电流的过程以及电子分布函数的演变过程.研究发现,不同强度的电场中等离子体的行为存在着明显的差别.在弱电场中,电流与电场满足Spitzer公式,且电流产生的响应时间约等于撤销电场后电流衰减的弛豫时间;在中等强度的电场中,电子分布函数呈现为静止Maxwell分布和漂移Maxwell分布之和,而且在中等强度或者强直流电场中弛豫时间也将远远大于响应时间.根据电子分布函数的演变规律,推导了一组类似于流体力学方程的公式,这组方程像Spitzer公式一样简便地描述了等离子体中电流与电场的关系,并且对电场强度没有限制.数值模拟显示这组方程比Spitzer公式更适用于等离子体的混合粒子模拟中. 关键词： 等离子体电流 电子分布函数 Fokker-Planck模拟 Spitzer公式

Influence of electric transfer on the Kirkendall effect and partial lengths of liquid areas appearing upon contact melting in metallic systems

The results of experimental studies of the influence of electric transfer on the Kirkendall effect in a Bi-Cd system and the partial lengths of contact interlayers of Bi-Cd and In-Zn systems upon contact melting are discussed. It was established that electric current passing across the melt formed upon contact melting considerably affects its rate of growth and contributes also to the velocity of the general shift of the liquid, as determined by the shift of inertial marks.     

Change in the magnetic moment of a ferromagnetic nanoparticle under polarized current

The magnetization reversal of a ferromagnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticle with a volume of the order of several thousands of cubic nanometers under the influence of spin-polarized current has been investigated on a high-vacuum scanning tunneling microscope, where one of the electrodes is a magnetized iron wire needle and the second electrode is a ferromagnetic nanoparticle on a graphite substrate. The measured threshold current of magnetization reversal, i.e., the lowest value of the current corresponding to the magnetization reversal, is found to be I_thresh ≈ 9 nA. A change in the magnetization of a nanoparticle is revealed using the giant magnetoresistance effect, i.e., the dependence of the weak polarized current (I < I_thresh) on the relative orientation of the magnetizations of the electrodes.

Specific contact resistance of IGZO thin film transistors with metallic and transparent conductive oxides electrodes and XPS study of the contact/semiconductor interfaces

In this work, the specific contact resistance (ρ_c) between amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO) semiconductor and different contact electrodes was obtained from thin film transistors (TFTs). Ti/Au (10/100 nm), aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO, 100 nm) and indium tin oxide (ITO, 100 nm) were used as source/drain electrodes to fabricate IGZO TFTs. Chemical states of the contacts/semiconductor interfaces were examined by depth profile X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis to explain the origin of the differences on specific contact resistance. The lowest ρ_c achieved using Ti/Au was related to the formation of a TiO_x interlayer due to oxygen atoms diffusing out from the semiconductor under layer, increasing the carrier concentration of IGZO at the interface and lowering the ρ_c. On the contrary, no interfacial reactions were observed between IGZO and AZO or ITO source/drain. However, IGZO resistivity increased with ITO contacts likely due to oxygen vacancies filling during ITO deposition. This fact seems to be the origin of the high contact resistance between IGZO and ITO, compared to IGZO-AZO and IGZO-Ti/Au interfaces.     

Prediction of the penetrating power of metallic shaped charge jets subjected to an intense electric current pulse

A method for evaluating the penetrating (piercing) power of shaped charges under the condition when an intense electric current pulse is applied to a shaped charge jet is developed. The buildup of waist-type MHD instability and the volume damage of the jet material are viewed as possible mechanisms behind a reduction of the penetrating power of a shaped charge jet under the current action. With this method, electrodynamic action parameters that provide a significant reduction of the penetrating power of a shaped charge jet are calculated for shaped charges of various penetrability.     

Effect of pressure on electrical resistance of Pd82−xVxSi18 metallic glasses

Measurements have been made of the effect of hydrostatic pressure to 10 kbar, at room ambient temperatures, on the electrical resistance of a series of Pd_82?xV_xSi₁₈ metallic glasses with x varying from 0 to 6 at.%. These glasses show positive temperature coefficients of resistance at low vanadium concentrations, varying monotonically to negative coefficients at high concentrations. It is found that, independent of vanadium concentration, the pressure coefficient of resistance of all the glasses is identically zero to one part in 10⁴, indicating that the pressure derivative of the logarithm of the resistivity is exactly equal to the negative of the linear compressibility. The implication of this result with respect to theoretical models is discussed; only the Ziman liquid metal model provides a consistent explanation.     

On the scattering of a metallic cumulative jet with an intense electric current pulse passing through it

The extension of metallic cumulative jets, through which an intense electric current pulse is passed, is numerically simulated in the framework of the model of a uniformly elongating cylindrical rod. Emphasis is on the radial scattering of the jet, which is observed after it escapes from the interelectrode gap. The influence of the magnetic energy accumulated in the jet??s elements under the action of the current is elucidated. For central parts of cumulative jets generated by charges from 50 to 150 mm in diameter, the distributions of the material density and velocity along the radius of the jet immediately after the current cutoff are obtained. These distributions suggest that the surface layer of the jet may separate out and scatter under the action of the current with the central portion of the jet remaining solid. As the current passing through the jet grows, the thickness of its disintegrating layer, which acquires a radial velocity from the axis, increases. Critical currents causing separation of the jet??s surface layer and its collapse are determined.
